The Clinical Manual for Management of PTSDbrings together dozens of experts from around the world to provide clinicians with the latest information on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As a practical resource, this manual covers a wide range of topics relevant to clinical practice and addresses both the basics of each area as well as specific aspects of diagnosis and treatment. This clinical manual is an effort to bridge the gap between the research community and the clinician by providing an easy-to-use source of clinically relevant information on PTSD. This clinical manual is designed to be a practical guide by the bedside, on rounds, or in the classroom. It can be used in multiple ways: As a complete text for clinicians, residents, and students to gain a solid understanding of PTSD's various manifestations and the current treatment modalities available & as a desktop reference for experienced clinicians to read specific parts that are most pertinent to aspects of their daily practice. For simple use and ease of reference, this text is divided into several sections: first, an overview of the history, biology, epidemiology, assessment methods, and comorbidities of PTSD; second, explorations of the various modes of therapeutics and management; and third, special topics such as PTSD in military settings, sexual assault, older and juvenile victims of trauma, and umatic brain injury. | Clinical Manual For Management of PTSD by David M.
